Design of a graphical user interface (GUI) is a delicate task requiring knowledge of human cognitive behaviour, design strategies and programming skills. In this thesis work, a GUI has been developed for control of a robotic arm that is capable of sample retrieval and collection. This thesis work creates a bridge between technical and psychological aspects of interface design by integrating the concepts of compatibility of GUI with users, consistency in design, visual hierarchy and page layout. The developed GUI is able to support control of the robotic manipulator autonomously and manual operation using a joystick. Combinations of control functions have been defined and implemented to alleviate the operator’s efforts. The developed GUI is capable of task planning in offline mode. Implemented intelligent server/client architecture enables efficient remote control of the robotic arm. The presented interface can also be used for multiple systems with minimal changes. To verify the effectiveness of the developed GUI, experiments have been conducted using a robotic arm comprised of three rotary joints and a scoop.

Control Functions

Expert systems applications for special environments impose special requirements on the user-system interface. A study was conducted to determine requirements and define a design concept for the interface for an expert system being developed to support corrective maintenance and troubleshooting of gas turbine electronic equipment and controls. The resulting design specifies a portable unit containing color flat panel video/graphics display, special function membrane keypad, miniature printer, and headset with voice input/output. Communication with the expert system is structured by multiple-window information presentation and voice-activated control functions.

Software design and its engineering is essential for bioinformatics software impact. We propose a new approach ‘Butterfly’, for the betterment of modeling of scientific software solutions by targeting key developmental points: intuitive, graphical user interface design, stable methodical implementation and comprehensive output presentation. The focus of research was to address following three key points: 1) differences and different challenges required to change from traditional to scientific software engineering, 2) scientific software solution development needs feedback and control loops following basic engineering principles for implementation and 3) software design with new approach which helps in developing and implementing a comprehensive scientific software solution. We validated the approach by comparing old and new bioinformatics software solutions. Moreover, we have successfully applied our approach in the design and engineering of different well applied and published Bioinformatics and Neuroinformatics tools including DroLIGHT, LS-MIDA, Isotopo, Ant-App-DB, GenomeVX and Lipid-Pro.
